MM Stingray 62 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Only 4 strings in my collection I’m afraid I don’t want to start collecting 5 strings. One I haven’t the room but the main reason is I think the wife go totally berserk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I have just taken a look at the NE2 in Pewter now that’s a tasty looking bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yeah, I'm biased but I think the NE2 is a really attractive design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 There was a pewter one on sale here a while back from a Scottish guy too. Not sure where it went. Interestingly that’s a few pro guys who’ve moved their NEBB’s on so I wonder what it was that wasn’t hitting the spot of them? I think @TJ Spicer mentioned his pro’s and cons in a review.

MM Stingray 62 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 When I eventually get a bb614 then I will put my orange bb414 up for sale. Has anyone had both basses is there much difference between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But clearly pewter has its fans too, evidenced by @marleaux62specifically wanting that colour. I saw a really lovely Shuker for sale recently, but couldn't get passed the orange-brown Essex tan, but which clearly must have appealed to the owner at one point!

Other colours could be too but that is like a non-colour, like grey cars a few years ago which I noticed were a thing as a few years ago my work carpark was 7 grey cars and one bluey off grey. I find colour is more important the more expensive something is. Well, to a point, if my other half doesn't like the colour of a bass it doesn't get to live in the living room!

Al Krow Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Gunmetal grey can look really good on a car IMO. Isn't that another name for pewter? But maybe it's more geared to cold metal rather than the 'warmth' of wood? Totally agree that if you're paying top dollar for a bass you want to be able to get it in the finish you really like and think "wow" whenever you see it. Saw a perfectly spec'd Spector NS5 the other day at BD in tobacco burst ...*sigh* / massive relief on wallet (delete as applicable).

You could be right about the wood. Quote Totally agree that if you're paying top dollar for a bass you want to be able to get it in the finish you really like and think "wow" whenever you see it. Saw a perfectly spec'd Spector NS5 the other day at BD in tobacco burst ...*sigh* / massive relief on wallet (delete as applicable). Yep, its got to be special (to the owner - sod everyone else). When the sunlight is in the right place (and present) in my office it lands on the shuker and catches my eye (pretty easy, it is right next to where I work) and I have a 'wow' moment.
